Title:
  Dialogs of background applications pop up in the foreground

Status in The Metacity Window Manager:
  Confirmed
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If an application is not in front and opens a dialog, the dialog will
  steal the focus and will be shown in front of all windows that cover
  the application's main window. This behavior can be seen e.g. in
  update-manger or evolution.

  The dialog should not be visible if it the whole main window is
  covered by other windows. The notification should be enough.

  The compiz gnome-window-decorator handles the dialogs correctly.
